Chapter 160: Powerful Soldier
Ji Qingran was speechless, what is this? He is so busy here, and he has to go to the bandits to grab food, if he can find the bandits, it is good to snatch the grain back, if he can't find the bandits, so many people, what will he do?
What a headache.
Ji Beihan asked, "Did those bandits do it last time?"
"I don't know, maybe it's them, maybe there are other bandits, now in this disaster year, in order to survive, the people may also become bandits, who knows?"
Chu Ge said, "Instead of worrying here, it's better to go and grab it back immediately, they can't eat all the food." ”
"If you can't finish eating, you can sell it, and in the year of the snow disaster, food is as expensive as gold. Ji Qingran looked outside, the people were all satisfied, he gave them hope for life, but now, is the hope about to be shattered again?
He didn't want Qinggu County to return to the previous hell on earth, as long as he survived this snow disaster, the next year would be better.
"Jun Gongzi, what good way do you have?" Ji Qingran looked at Ji Beihan, Ji Beihan said, "Now I can only find that group of bandits first, if they rob it, then they will directly rob it back, if it is not them, they must know who it is!"
Ji Qingran nodded, "How do you find them?"
"Bandits generally hide in the mountains near here, I will take people to find it, the grain in the granary can last a day, I will try to get the grain back as soon as possible!"
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, and this king will know that you will definitely become the king's right-hand man!"
Ji Beihan smiled, picked some elite soldiers and set off, Chu Ge wanted to follow, but he refused, let her stay in the city with peace of mind, and assist Ji Qing in dyeing porridge!
Chu Ge didn't insist this time, because she knew how dangerous it was to go, those bandits were even more terrifying than jackals, tigers and leopards, "You have to be careful, you must come back safely." ”
Ji Beihan nodded and left with a group of people.
Chu Ge had been standing at the door watching him walk away, Ji Qingran looked at her back, and always felt like a person, but he knew that it couldn't be Chu Ge!
According to the time calculation, Chu Ge should have died of poison.
Thinking of this, he was in a very bad mood and very uncomfortable.
......
Ji Beihan took a group of brothers into the mountain, fortunately, there is only one deep mountain near Qinggu County, and the place where those bandits can hide is the cave in this deep mountain, as long as it takes time to find it, it is not difficult.
Divide the people into ten groups and conduct a carpet search, the snow in the mountains is very deep, even if it is dark, the visibility is very high, so that the search until the evening, finally found the traces of the bandits.
I saw a hidden cave inside, green smoke rising, Ji Beihan slowly approached with people, lying on the top of the cave, you can still hear laughter, and the fragrance of barbecue, a group of bandits are eating barbecue around the bonfire, drinking wine, and the small day is very pleasant.
Ji Beihan scattered his forces around, slowly tightened them from the periphery, surrounded the bandits, and then selected their leader, jumped down directly, and a long sword was pressed against the leader's neck, "Don't move, otherwise your head and head will move." ”
The leader of the bandits was none other than Su Yunjin, but he was unusually calm, "I didn't rob you of your official food and cotton clothes, why do you want to embarrass us?
"Didn't rob it?, then whose hand did our five hundred loads of imperial grain fall into it?" Ji Beihan used a little force in his hand, and the spike cut Su Yunjin's skin, Ji Beihan said coldly, "I didn't kill you twice before, but if you not only don't repent, but also dare to rob the imperial grain again, don't blame me for being unkind, give you one last chance to tell the whereabouts of the imperial grain, otherwise, I will kill them one by one!"
When the words fell, the elite soldiers who rushed up from all directions surrounded dozens of bandits, and the bandits realized that the situation was serious, "We didn't rob your imperial grain, how can we hand it over?"
"Kill. ”
As soon as the words fell, a bandit was stabbed to death, Ji Beihan continued to pressur, "Every time I ask, if you don't say it, one person will die, until everyone dies, if you don't say it, this is the end, think about it and then answer." ”
Su Yunjin was anxious, "Don't kill my brother, I said." ”
Ji Beihan turned his face, "Very good, let's say it." ”
"The five hundred loads of grain, we really wanted to grab it, and guarded the official road for several days, but we didn't come, and some brothers saw that the people who escorted the imperial grain turned around and went to the Qinggu River halfway, and there was a boat over there, and they transported the grain on the boat, and they didn't know where to transport it. ”
"You're not going to lie again, are you?"
"I'm not lying, I don't believe it, I'll take you over to see, we originally wanted to grab a few bags and get through this winter, but those people were very vigilant, and their martial arts were so powerful that they couldn't do it at all, so we had to give up again. ”
"Are they still on the banks of the Qinggu River?"
"It should be gone, or it may not have left, the wind and snow are too strong in the past few days, and it is unlikely that five hundred loads of grain will be transported away at one time. ”
Ji Beihan held Su Yunjin and scolded, "Lead the way." ”
......
The next day, there were still a lot of people who came to receive the porridge, but the rice in the granary could no longer hold it, Ji Qingran was so anxious that he looked out of the city, there was no news of the soldiers coming back, and he didn't know if Jun Luohua could snatch back the five hundred loads of imperial grain.
The snow is still falling, endlessly, and the people have food for so many days in a row, and they don't know the taste of sorrow at all, all of them have ruddy faces, happy smiles, and even begin to prepare for the New Year.
Chu Ge also accompanied him to wait for Ji Beihan, this day and night passed, and he didn't come back, I was really afraid that he would make a mistake.
"I'm tired of porridge and porridge every day. Chu Ge propped his face and looked into the distance and muttered.
Ji Qingran said helplessly, "There is no other way now, if you eat today, you will run out of food tomorrow, so you can eat a few more bowls." ”
Chu Ge said depressedly, "No matter how much you eat today, you will be just as hungry tomorrow...... Can't we think of other ways? For example, with such a big moat, there are no fish in the river?"
"Yes. ”
"Can't you fish it out and eat it?"
Ji Qingran turned his face and suddenly realized, "That's right, the fish is also food, why didn't this king think of it?"
Chu Ge laughed, "Because you're not a foodie!"
"Let's go, dig ice and catch fish!"
I brought a group of soldiers out and knocked on the surface of the river, only to find that the ice on the river was too thick, and ordinary methods could not break it at all.
In order to get out of the river, Ji Qingran took all kinds of tools to try, but they were not ideal.
Chu Ge stood on the city wall and shouted, "I have a way, you use your sword to draw a circle on the ice!"
Ji Qingran did so, Chu Ge found a big stone, let a strong stone be carried on the city wall, pointed to the circle and said, "See that there is no there, throw it at that circle, and be sure to hit it." ”
The big man nodded, threw the stone hard, and steadily hit the circle on the ice, and the huge impact force broke the ice surface, which happened to be a circle.
